I'm Sioux Roslawski and this is my blog about writing, dogs, grown-up children, menopause, the joy of a marvelous book, classroom teaching in general, and specifically, the teaching of writing. You can email me at sroslawski(at)yahoo(dot)com.

These are some of the writers who shared their story
at the 2014 Listen to Your Mother St. Louis show.
My guest post at The Muffin tells about something that happened
to me right after the final show...

Words do matter... which why in some cases we need to be careful what we say :-), but in this case as in all the LTYM writers/performers, you all did a wonderful job and all I can say is WOW (oh wait, that's the place where you wrote a piece... two WOWs in one).

I know they matter, but sometimes you never know which ones will matter, and it's usually a lovely surprise when you find that someone was moved or inspired by your words. I know I was just moved by this story, so thank you.

It was a wonderful surprise to see your post on FB and see a fellow adoptee and the wonderful experience you had talking to others as a result of being in LTYM. I was a part of the OKC LTYM this year and it was a powerful experience as well. It is not easy sharing our stories of adoption, and it is so nice to meet you.
